| On the morning of May 7th the 90th
moved forward once more, only to be halted almost immediately. Division
Headquarters had received a message of historic importance : "A representative of the German High Command signed the unconditional surrender of all German land, sea and air forces in Europe to the Allied Expeditionary Forces and simultaneously to the Soviet High Command at 01:41 B Central European Time 7 May 1945 under which all forces will cease active operations at 00:01 B 9 May 1945". EISENHOWER And so ended the combat history of the 90th Infantry
Division, a history which began on the beaches of Normandy and wound through
one thousand miles of hedgerows, plains, hills, rivers and forests half way
across the continent of Europe, where the men with the T-O patch stood
triumphantly at last on the liberated soil of Czechoslovakia.
